"...whether it's a big laugh, a restrained laugh, a crazy laugh, a near-death laugh or simply laughter about our society: laughter can be about anything. Laughter is the moment when our mind refuses reason. When we are puzzled by certain things, our mind simply doesn't want to struggle, perhaps we don't know how to think therefore we just want to forget. In Chinese tradition you can't say things directly. You have to show something else for the real meaning. I wanted to show a happy smile and show that behind it is something sad, and even dangerous." -Yue Minjun
